Chapter 101 Confession failed
“Peach Blossom Sister, there’s a stool here. Stand on it.”
Shen Ming explained.
Zhao Taohua looked down at the stool that was forty centimeters high, and immediately stepped on it happily.
Although she is only about 1.5 meters tall, once she steps onto this stool, almost no one in the village can be taller than her!
No matter who stands in front of her, it won't stop her from seeing the bride!
When Zhao Taohua stepped onto the 40-centimeter-high stool, she immediately felt that her field of vision had become wider.
Jiang Cuier, dressed in a new red linen dress and with a red veil on her head, was led by Zhao Feng as she slowly descended from the oxcart.
Zhao Taohua finally saw the bride!
Surrounded by the crowd, the newlyweds slowly walked into the courtyard, and the villagers quickly turned around to make way for them.
The villagers standing in front of Zhao Taohua had no idea that she was standing on a stool behind them. They took a step back and knocked her down.
"!!!"
Zhao Taohua was so frightened that she reached out to grab something, but her body still fell backward uncontrollably.
The sounds of gongs and drums, along with the villagers' joyful laughter and blessings, drowned out Zhao Taohua's screams.
Just when Zhao Taohua thought she was going to fall flat on her backside, she was caught steadily.
Zhao Taohua was startled at first, then looked at the other person with lingering fear.
Her lips brushed against Shen Ming's cheek, and in that instant, a surge of spiritual energy entered her body. Zhao Taohua even felt a static electricity build up between herself and Shen Ming.
Shen Ming felt a jolt of electricity run from his cheek throughout his entire body!
"Peach Blossom Sister, are you alright?"
As Shen Ming spoke, he placed Zhao Taohua on the ground.
The moment Shen Ming released the person from his hands, his palms unconsciously clenched.
"It's nothing, thank you, Brother Shen Ming!"
After saying that, Zhao Taohua hurriedly followed the crowd and squeezed into the courtyard.
Try your best to get close to the bride and share in her joy!
Even if I can't squeeze in, it would be nice to take one more look!
Jiang Cuier was walking at the back of the crowd, looking around when she suddenly saw Shen Ming standing in the middle of the crowd!
His silver hair stood out in the crowd.
He was tall and upright, standing like a pine or cypress, exuding an innate masculine aura.
Today he was wearing a dark-colored long gown, which accentuated his slender figure and handsome face even more.
Jiang Ju'er unconsciously moved closer to him.
Although last time she accidentally got some female ghost on her, that's why she gave Employer Shen such a lecherous look and reached out to touch him.
However, it must be said that Employer Shen is really good-looking. She has never seen a more handsome man in the surrounding area.
She had just walked up to Shen Ming's side, and before she could even speak, her face turned red.
The more she tried to say something, the redder her face became.
Finally, she mustered her courage and said to Shen Ming, "Employer Shen, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I was tainted by that evil spirit, which is why I treated you that way."
Fortunately, Shen Ming had good hearing; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hear her voice, which was as small as a mosquito's buzz.
"It's okay, I know, you don't need to worry about it."
Shen Ming said calmly.
Although Shen Ming's voice conveyed a sense of aloofness and distance, there was a strange attraction hidden in that cold tone, making Jiang Ju'er unable to resist wanting to get closer and hear him say more.
She tilted her head back to look at his profile and asked cautiously:
"Employer Shen, are you married?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ming's pupils contracted. He had been busy with the medicinal herb field recently and hadn't had much opportunity to spend time with Zhao Taohua. His marriage to Zhao Taohua hadn't progressed any further.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Peach Blossom Sister will come of age. At that time, the threshold of the Zhao family will probably be worn down by people walking all over it!
He answered truthfully, "No."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ju'er was overjoyed.
Does the absence of a positive result mean she has a chance?
It just so happens that my older sister married into Zhao Family Village. If she also marries into Zhao Family Village, she can see her sister more often in the future, and the sisters can take care of each other!
Inside the main room, on the high seat, Zhao Daqiang and Zhou Shi sat upright, their faces beaming with contentment.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
With a loud shout, the newlyweds turned around and bowed deeply towards the direction outside the main hall.
The firecrackers crackled and popped, deafeningly loud, and the air was filled with smoke, carrying a strong festive atmosphere. Zhao Taohua squeezed to the front of the crowd, grinning and laughing along with everyone else.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
Zhao Feng and Jiang Cuier respectfully kowtowed to Zhao Daqiang and Zhou Shi again.
Grandma Sun stood to the side with a smile on her face and handed over a red envelope full of copper coins. Madam Qian and Madam Wang did the same, and the three of them said a few auspicious words.
"Couple greetings!"
The two bowed to each other, and the villagers inside and outside the hall applauded and cheered, with laughter and cheers rising and falling.
The bride was led into the bridal chamber, while the villagers flocked to the wedding banquet to find places to sit and wait for the feast to begin.
Zhao Taohua was pulled down to sit by Qian Shi.
Today, the main table is for the bride's family members, as a sign of respect for them.
Next came the relatives from the Zhao family's old house. As the groom's second uncle's family, the Zhao family was also placed in a relatively forward position.
Just as Zhao Taohua was about to sit down, she saw Shen Ming talking to Jiang Ju'er outside the courtyard gate.
"Mr. Shen, actually, I like you. Do you think I'm okay with you?"
If you like me too, why don't we live together?
I'm fifteen years old this year, and my birthday is coming up soon, so I can get married.
Jiang Cuier looked at Shen Ming with expectant eyes.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ming rejected her: "I don't like you. Don't come near me, and don't waste your time on me."
Shen Ming's voice was sharp and cold, like frost and snow in the dead of winter. Every word he uttered seemed to be wrapped in ice shards, carrying a deep chill.
"!!!"
Jiang Ju'er's expression froze instantly, and she stood there stunned, her mind blank.
She hadn't expected Shen Ming to refuse so directly and decisively.
Is she really that bad?
He didn't hesitate at all!
Immediately afterwards, a burning sense of shame spread rapidly from her heart to her whole body. She felt as if all the gazes around her were sharp needles, piercing her painfully.
She bit her lower lip hard, tears welling up in her eyes.
Shen Ming glanced at her indifferently, then turned and went into the courtyard to find a seat and wait for the banquet to begin.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt a burning gaze. When he looked up, he met Zhao Taohua's curious eyes.
She glanced at Shen Ming, then at Jiang Ju'er not far behind her, her brows furrowing and her cheeks puffing out slightly.
Seeing Jiang Juer's disappointed expression, Zhao Taohua immediately realized that she had just failed to confess her feelings.
Zhao Taohua pursed her lips slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
